    Aug. 21, 2008
    Designers at SVSi, Madison, Ala. (www.southernvisionsystems.com), have made it easier for companies to send audio and video signals to digital signs or HDTVs.

    The technology, dubbed Volante, lets a single transmitter deliver sound and sights to an unlimited number of displays over unlimited distances, and the entire delivery system can be housed in a standard desktop PC. Signals travel over standard Cat5e cable.
